Z switches your L/R hand, and now there is a keybind menu that you should definitely take a peek at. You can quickly exit out of chests with ESC

I've never seen any official (or unofficial) answer before, but is there a difference between the normal and OpenGL launchers? Not sure which one I should be using so I'm just using the normal one.

One will work with your system better depending on your graphics card. (The other uses DirectX)

The first boss in the mine place for the FTL is.. actually very easy once you get down his pattern. His second and third attack patterns have some extremely easy ways to avoid taking damage. I highly recommend bringing a shield along however, since until you understand how to avoid them, it can be helpful to block the beams to negate some of the damage.

Yeah sounds like some people forgot the metroid influence.

Except that Metroid controls are good. Most of the problems present in combat could be solved by removing the slow backwards walk. I'm astounded that anyone played with that for any length of time and declared it a good feature.

I feel like going back saying "It's bad," "But I like it," "BUT IT'S SO BAD." isn't going to really solve anything. It just sounds like you're bad at the game, since many people were able to handle it using the tools given and pattern recognition.

I was able to handle it, that doesn't make it not a terrible, clunky mess.

Iv'e stopped trying. It's best just to reply about stuff actually involving the game and move on. The slow walk issue is actually relevant though.

I do not like the slow backwards walk either though. I like the game, but there are some dumb design decisions. The slow backwards walk does not work with the mouse aiming at all, meaning aiming in the wrong direction could cause you to suddenly be walking "backwards" and slow down, often causing whatever you're fighting to get some free hits in.

I'm fixing the backwards walk as we speak (I think!) It'll either be done in 5 minutes, or like a few hours. (Or impossible!)

So uhh... I already did the "Torches just need wood thing" someone was talking about if you guys want. All of it's super easy, lol. I was going to make it so you could either use Wood, Plant Fiber, or just Cole, that way you don't have to worry about running out when you're balls deep in a cave.

Also, I'm uploading a patch for backstep that should make it work for new and old characters. Need some testers.

Is there a good modding tutorial out there? I want to add pets or something else minor and cute.

Not really, you want to look at how they did what they did, copy it and modify it slightly. There is a modders wiki but I've had a helluva time finding it.

If you're modding values in the config, you should make a config.patch file

http://helmet.kafuka.org/sbmods/json/

This is easy enough, click on the patch button, post the source code in both boxes then make your changes in the first box and click dif, it'll generate the code you need to overwrite those specific values, that way more then 1 person can mod the same file.

e: You want your modded config with the diff code to be .config.patch that way it'll just patch the original config instead of overwriting it.

This will make the crystal boss a lot easier if you are having problems. You'll probably still need to learn to parry, especially for the last part.

Yeah I just grabbed it all because i'm not really clear on what's been changed w/r/t modding. I edited the crystalboss.monstertype and all of the beamattack.monsterskill files located in \skills

To use the patch function do I just append .patch to all of the files i edited and only include those?

I made a mod page if anyone want to use that to get to the dropbox link for some reason:
http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/easier-crystal-boss-upbeat-giraffe.2490/

I play with some people that are really bad at video games, so i'll probably make all of the bosses easier as I get to them.

I don't think you can patch lua files, so just straight up replacing is the smart idea.

I regret getting this game. I have restarted a characters 3 times and I still get stuck on these three quests :

Help! I need somebody
Stirred not shaken.

Those are the only quest available for me, I have no idea how to find more, I can't open the Penguin Bay shop thing. I have no idea what to do except not play this anymore. Is there a fix to this or something?

How are you having trouble crafting a spoon?

Also nope done forever - If there was a program to convert _merge to whatever the wacky new system is I'd convert it, but I've moved on. If I were to do new mods it's far more likely I'd just make a new race straight up or alternately just never play this again

So, this game would be pretty fun... if it had a loving deployable spawn point system implemented.
Something simple like a beacon that you can set or just placing down a bed.

Otherwise, holy gently caress is exploring planets a massive chore right now.

There must be a way to trigger the same functions as those commands with a mod, right?
If that's the case it would be trivial to add a beacon item that changes your warpdown spot.

So I made a new guy to play with the caves mod. I haven't run into gaps on the surface that I couldn't jump over, and was able to explore my way down to core fragments with minimal digging. I did fall to my death once when I wasn't paying attention and got a huge cavern (this is a plus IMO). Also had one of those mining complex/tunnel things spawn, and it was huge, which was pretty cool. Also as a plus, more caves/tunnels means more vines, so it is a lot easier to get bandage material before jungle worlds.

I'm thinking caves and glowing ores are nearly mandatory, they remove so much of the tedium of mining/spelunking.

I'm so happy people enjoy the cave mod.
